This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

After this meticulously planned proposal ceremony, the relationship between the two deepened even further.

As she had said before, Xiao Yilin completely let go of her worries and made mental preparations to be a mother. From then on, the small box of props in the drawer was quietly put away in a corner and temporarily lost its use.

However, starting from the next morning, Yu Chenzhou used the excuse of preparing a surprise for her to urge Xiao Yilin to go to work on time.

Xiao Yilin didn't press him further, only feigning dissatisfaction as she complained that he was trying to exploit her by making her work to support the family.

But her eyes held a secret anticipation for the surprise. She obediently picked up her bag and went out, patiently waiting for the unveiling of this mysterious gift.

However, to Yu Chenzhou's dismay, although the online public opinion about him had completely subsided and the storm had gradually dissipated, he still could not move back to Songjian Yuefu smoothly.

After his address was exposed, many enthusiastic fans and people who wanted to ask him for favors frequently waited outside Songjian Yuefu to block him. Even the residents of the community would find him.

So the two of them continued to live in the villa.

After several days of intensive preparations, and with everything arranged, Yu Chenzhou dragged Xiao Yilin out of her warm bed early in the morning, even though she had planned to sleep in.

Today is a rare Sunday, and the two of them went out on a date last night to relax, so they went to bed much later than usual. Xiao Yilin is still limp, hugging her silk quilt, her head buried in the pillow, refusing to open her eyes and get up.

In order to get her out of bed, Yu Chenzhou had to resort to his own little tricks.

As for the price, he was bitten on the shoulder by Xiao Yilin in a fit of rage, leaving two teeth marks. Fortunately, the force was not too strong or too weak, and it was more like a coquettish scolding.

"You've finally prepared my surprise? Where are we headed?"

Xiao Yilin leaned back in the passenger seat, a faint fragrance of orchids still lingering around her, her eyes veiled with a lingering allure, her languid appearance exceptionally captivating.

Yu Chenzhou glanced at her sideways, a hint of gentle smile hidden in his eyes, his tone light and cheerful:

"That's right, I'll take you to a great place. You'll see when we get there."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yilin nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more questions. She then adjusted the seat back, leaned back in the passenger seat, and closed her eyes to rest.

She couldn't figure out why Yu Chenzhou was always so energetic. On the other hand, she was still feeling dizzy and sleepy.

Yu Chenzhou gripped the steering wheel steadily and drove slowly toward their destination, the car filled with a tranquil and warm atmosphere.

The car eventually stopped in the parking lot in front of a modern art building built along the Xuhui Riverside. The building's exterior walls are made of transparent floor-to-ceiling glass and matte metal lines, exuding a low-key sense of sophistication in its minimalist design style.

The terrace on the riverside is wrapped with warm white light strips, which ripple with a soft halo when the wind blows, reflecting the shimmering waves on the Huangpu River in the distance. The evening breeze carries the moist scent of the river, creating a modern and romantic atmosphere.

Xiao Yilin followed Yu Chenzhou to the entrance of the photography studio. Looking at the photography props and the faintly visible lighting and set design, she suddenly realized something, her eyes widening slightly:

"You're not going to bring me here to take wedding photos, are you?"

Honey, is this the surprise you prepared for me?

Although she had a smile on her face, her fingers had already quietly touched Yu Chenzhou's waist, carrying a hint of probing threat.

Yu Chenzhou smiled and nodded. Seeing this, he quickly reached out and took her hand, holding it firmly in his palm to avoid being pinched. He replied gently:

"Yes, since we both have free time now and have successfully avoided the National Day travel rush, let's take our wedding photos first."

Didn't I promise you before that I would never let you take wedding photos while you're heavily pregnant?

"So this is what you meant by not letting me take wedding photos while I'm heavily pregnant."

And I didn't prepare anything!

She only wore a ring as jewelry, and there was absolutely no atmosphere or romance here!

Xiao Yilin pouted, stomped her foot lightly with a look of resistance, and spoke with a hint of resentment.

Because the jewelry set Yu Chenzhou gave her was quite expensive, she didn't wear it regularly to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

Yu Chenzhou held her hands in his, gently stroking her fingertips, and coaxed her softly:

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything for you. The jewelry box is in the car. I promised I wouldn't let you down."

Also, only half of our wedding photos will be taken here; I'll personally take the other half for you, giving you a unique experience.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yilin looked up at him with a puzzled expression, her eyes full of curiosity, and her previous resistance had largely dissipated.

"Let's take Western-style wedding photos here first. I've already chosen the wedding dress and suit for you according to your size and preferences, so I'm sure you'll be happy with them."

After we finished filming here, we set off back to Wuhan.

I've already planned it all out: I'll drive back, taking my time for three days, passing through cities like Nanjing, Anqing, and Huanggang, and enjoying the scenery along the way.

Along the way, I'll take a set of exclusive Chinese-style wedding photos for you, complete with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe—I absolutely won't disappoint you.

Yu Chenzhou explained his plan in detail, his eyes full of anticipation.

The mention of the phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, coupled with Yu Chenzhou's abilities, instantly lit up Xiao Yilin's eyes, her voice filled with excitement:

"Phoenix coronet and embroidered robe?"

Is it the same as the long-sleeved shawl dress you gave me before?

"It will only look better than that one, and suit you better."

Now you understand how I feel, right?

Yu Chenzhou nodded firmly, his gaze tenderly fixed on her eyes, which were filled with an intense and unyielding love.

"Got it, got it! Let's hurry up and take some pictures!"

After understanding Yu Chenzhou's intentions, Xiao Yilin excitedly pulled him forward, her joyful expression like that of a child who had received candy.

After all, compared to the truly exquisite and elegant phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, Western-style wedding dresses are completely insignificant. Taking photos separately can not only maintain the aesthetics but also leave different memories, which is more appropriate.

The two then went into the photography studio together.

This is a high-end private studio that Yu Chenzhou specially booked in advance, which is completely different from the rigid and dull atmosphere of traditional photo studios.

Stepping inside, the high ceilings are complemented by a soft color scheme of light apricot and champagne gold. Irregular light and shadow installations are embedded in the walls, creating a wonderful atmosphere as the light flows. The floor is covered with fine micro-cement, which is comfortable underfoot and has an outstanding texture.

The display shelves are neatly arranged with jewelry and accessories from niche designer brands, each with a unique and distinctive style. In the corner, a floral arrangement area displays fresh champagne-colored roses and white lisianthus, their fragrance delicate and pleasant.

Warm spotlights gently shine through the frosted glass, exuding a refined and romantic modern feel in every detail.

The wedding photos hanging on the wall are all documentary-style works with flowing light and shadow, without any stiff, deliberately posed shots, and full of texture.

The studio staff were already waiting nearby. When they saw the two enter, they greeted them with smiles and led the way, their attitude polite and attentive.

The dressing room is a separate, private cubicle, avoiding the embarrassment of being disturbed. Soft natural light shines through the gaps in the blinds onto the dressing table, where high-end brand makeup and skincare products are neatly arranged.

The stylist created a clear and natural nude makeup look for Xiao Yilin based on her face shape, features, and temperament.

She added a touch of champagne-colored shimmer to the corners of her eyes, understated yet eye-catching, making her bright eyes even more gentle and charming. Her lips were adorned with a moisturizing mauve lipstick, which was both gentle and flattering.

Instead of a complicated updo, her long hair was loosely tied into a low bun, with a few loose strands falling naturally down her neck.

With a gentle sway as she moves, paired with an exquisite headband inlaid with tiny pearls and crystals, she exudes a simple yet ethereal charm.

When the stylist opened the dressing room door, Xiao Yilin was immediately drawn to the wedding dress hanging in the center, and her steps involuntarily stopped.

It was a custom-made mermaid-style light gauze wedding dress, with a delicate and skin-friendly off-white satin bodice that cleverly outlined the beautiful lines of the shoulders and neck and the slender waist.

The neckline features a gentle off-the-shoulder design, with layers of handmade lace adorning the edges, each stitch revealing exquisite craftsmanship.

The skirt flares out slowly from the waist, covered by a layer of hazy tulle embroidered with delicate pearl patterns in silver thread. As she moves, it sways with the light and shadow, like a layer of shimmering starlight.

With the jewelry Yu Chenzhou gave her, she looked like a work of art, absolutely stunning.

Yu Chenzhou chose a smoky gray slim-fit suit, which was well-tailored and perfectly accentuated his tall figure. He wore a white silk shirt underneath and a matching satin bow tie at the collar.

Shedding his usual sharpness, he exuded a gentle and elegant charm. Standing beside Xiao Yilin, who was dressed in her wedding gown, his gaze was fixed on her, his eyes filled with unwavering affection.

The shooting location was set on the rooftop terrace of the studio, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful Huangpu River. At that moment, a gentle evening breeze swept by, causing Xiao Yilin's wedding dress to flutter slightly, creating a graceful arc.

The photographer is a well-known documentary style expert in the industry. He did not deliberately guide the two to pose stiffly, but gently guided them to interact naturally and capture the most authentic emotional moments.

Yu Chenzhou gently held Xiao Yilin's hand, his fingertips tightly interlocking with hers, the warmth of his palm passing through her skin.

Occasionally, he would whisper a few words in her ear, tease her about her absent-mindedness, or express the love hidden in his heart, which would make Xiao Yilin's eyebrows curve into a smile, and the smile would spread from the bottom of her eyes to the corners of her lips, so sweet that it was heartwarming.

Sunlight filtered through the sheer fabric, casting dappled shadows on the wedding dress and creating a warm, white light strip that intertwined with the shimmering waves of the Huangpu River, making the scene even more tender and romantic.

One scene shows the two leaning side by side against the railing of a terrace. Xiao Yilin leans gently on Yu Chenzhou's shoulder, gazing at the distant river view. Her hair is gently brushed against her cheek by the evening breeze, exuding a sense of languid comfort.

Yu Chenzhou turned his head and gazed at her profile with focused and affectionate eyes. He raised his hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against her earlobe, causing her to turn her head slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of coquettishness, and gently slap his hand away.

The photographer captured this fleeting interaction with precision, freezing this delicate yet sincere tenderness forever in the instant the shutter clicked.

There was also a close-up shot that focused on the two people's clasped hands, with Xiao Yilin wearing the diamond ring that Yu Chenzhou had given her when he proposed on her ring finger.

Shining brilliantly in the light and shadow, it echoes the pearl pattern on the wedding dress, silently conveying overflowing love.

Xiao Yilin was initially a little reserved in front of the camera, her body slightly stiff, but she gradually relaxed completely after being swayed by Yu Chenzhou's gentleness and teasing.

She would take his arm, rest her head gently on his shoulder, and tiptoe to lightly touch his cheek before laughing and pulling away, watching him look helpless yet indulgent.

The staff worked quietly on the side, only occasionally offering gentle reminders about adjusting the lighting and angles. The entire shooting process was relaxed and pleasant, without any deliberate posing. Every photo exuded the natural intimacy and romance between the two.

As the sun set, painting the entire sky a gentle orange-pink hue and casting its afterglow on the shimmering river, the Western-style wedding photoshoot gradually came to a close in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
